This session is to give a taste of what will be
happening in a new Ignatian spirituality group meeting on the second and fourth
Thursday evenings in the month from January. The group will be meeting in Hayes
or Beckenham. It will be a sharing group where time will be spent reflecting on
Gospel passages and trying out exercises like the review of the day and
imaginative meditation. The aim of the group is to help people explore their
life and their faith in more depth. All are welcome. There is no parking at the
church itself but there should be parking spaces in side-streets nearby. The
nearest train station is Hayes, which is a 5-10 minute walk. For more details

Monthly reflective worship service
at Hayes Free Church from January 2014

On the fourth Sunday of each month (beginning on
26 January) Hayes Free Church will be holding a reflective worship service
called The Six O’Clock Service, starting at 6pm and lasting for an hour.
Services will use a mixture of hymns and modern songs, times of quiet
reflection, readings, exercises, meditations, rituals and prayer stations to
explore a different theme each month. The theme for the service on 26 January
will be A Prayer Journey with Metropolitan Anthony, based on readings from his
book School for Prayer.
The church is at 111 Pickhurst Lane, Hayes BR2 7HU. There is no parking at the
church itself but there should be parking spaces in side-streets nearby. The
nearest train station is Hayes, which is a 5-10 minute walk. For more details

worship or playing a musical instrument, please contact
